It is rare to find something in the middle. That's why it is hard to give SPSS help to a broad audience, because of this dichotomy. Newbies want to have step-by-step instructions on how to make a histogram, experts want to find a macro to perform the Chow test.

I'm a Senior Systems Engineer at SPSS in Chicago. I see that you are looking for help addressing questions regarding SPSS and statistics. Many people who use SPSS seem to be unaware of all the resources that are available online within SPSS and also through our website to help them answer these questions. Most of the resources that I use to answer questions about SPSS products in my work are the same ones that any SPSS user can access from his or her own desk, and most are written with new users in mind. If you would be open to sharing a couple of the statistics questions that have come your way recently, especially questions that you might not have been able to answer yourself, I would be glad to take a look and try to prepare a couple of brief examples to show how you and your readers might take advantage of these resources to address statistics questions as they come up.

But still, we answer three to four questions each week. Not every question is suitable for mentioning on our frontpage. In our view, our target group is a little bit different than the SPSSX-L list. We try to be a bit more accessable for the people who have just started working with SPSS and create clear walk throughs. If you are willing to help out, you're very welcome! Richard,
